By turning on Wimbledon/Tour de France, then US Open tennis?

.02, YMMV

For me, I watch it with the TV off. ;-P

I never developed a liking for soccer, but certainly do not begrudge those who find it interesting. I hope the matches are all exciting and interesting.

The U.S., together with Mexico and Canada, just got the World Cup. Congratulations - a great deal of hard work!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 13, 2018

How do we know that there isn’t going to be some Russian fix in this Cup?

The whole way that Russia got to host this World Cup in the first place reeks of corruption. In terms of integrity and ethics, FIFA is total joke.

Russia was caught in 2014 with their well-planned doping scheme to cheat at the Olympics. Who says they won’t do it again here?

We will count on you to give us “football” bumpkins an update every few days as to the insider information.

Its a cinch I’m not watching the other “football”.

Here's how to watch the 2018 World Cup....................

[DugwayDuke]

Actually, there is nothing I need to know about the totally boring World Cup.

[Reno89519]

Why bother? I am American and we do not play soccer, only illegal aliens do. Use the event to round ‘me up and deport them.

[MplsSteve]

In general, I like soccer. But this go-around, it’s different. There’s no Team USA to root for.

I’m sure I’ll tune into a few games - but without the enthusiasm I did when the US was playing.

[al_c]

Well, since our team didn't make it ...

[dfwgator]

Polska Biało-Czerwoni!

[OldSmaj]

Well...to each his own.

[FLT-bird]

Like most Americans, I couldn’t possibly care less. I could not name a single player on the US national team if you held a gun to my head.

[Labyrinthos]

If I watch at all, I will be watching with hugh amounts of caffeine just to stay awake. In all series, I can’t get into any sport where a draw is rewarded and often viewed as some sort strategical victory. I would like to see a rule that punishes both teams for a draw by requiring them to play the first half of the next match with only ten players.

And here’s Vlad....

[Rummyfan]

Rooting for Russia today. Cant stand the Saudis...

As usual I think it will come down to Germany / Brasil / Argentina / and question mark in the end.

[Night Hides Not]

You know, that's not a bad idea! I still consider Deutschland my second home, as I lived in Traben-Trarbach over four years (77-81). Sadly, I've forgotten most of the German I learned during that time.

Next summer will be the 40th anniversary of one of the greatest summers of my life, where I was on temporary assignment to the anti-aircraft range at Todendorf.

Goal Russia!!!!!!
